Filter by:An epidemiological survey for prevalence description of dental morbidity (caries, gingivitis, dental trauma and fluorosis) among Israel Defense Forces (IDF) general recruits. Morbidity measures were collected from 700 recruits at their first day of military service in order to evaluate extent and burden of dental diseases among recruits. The data will enable the military dental services commanders to plan and implement dental services according to the dental needs.
The mechanical control of supragingival biofilm is accepted as one of the most important measures to prevent dental caries and periodontal diseases. Nevertheless, maintaining dental surfaces biofilm-free is not an easy task. In this regard, numerous studies researches have demonstrated the effectiveness of mouthwashes containing antimicrobial active ingredients that prevent and control both supragingival biofilm and gingivitis, specially when used adjunctively to mechanical oral hygiene regimens.
Assessing the effects of three oral care regimen on plaque, gingivitis, and tooth whitening: A randomized, person-centric, comparative effectiveness clinical research study by the Practitioners Engaged in Applied Research and Learning (PEARL) Network.
This single-centre, examiner-blind, randomized, stratified, two-treatment, parallel group clinical study will evaluate the efficacy of a 0.454% w/w stannous fluoride dentifrice compared to a reference dentifrice to control gingivitis (gingival bleeding and visual signs of gingival inflammation) in dentally and periodontally healthy adult volunteers over 12 weeks use in a Chinese population.
The objective of this study is to assess oral health, oral hygiene knowledge, and daily oral hygiene practices of women who participated in a randomized controlled trial (2011001) at University of Alabama Birmingham during the period 2012-2014. Additional objectives of the research include evaluation of possible cultural, biological or other mechanisms for outcomes observed in the OHMOM clinical trial, and oral health screening of children born to mothers during the study for the purposes of understanding possible multigenerational effects of oral hygiene education.
Chlorhexidine is the gold standard of dental plaque prevention, but which concentration is the most effective is not known. The aim of the present study was to compare the plaque and gingivitis inhibiting effect of commercial products containing 0.2%, 0.12% and 0.06% chlorhexidine in a modified experimental gingivitis model. In three groups of healthy volunteers, experimental gingivitis was induced and monitored over 21days, simultaneously treated with the commercial solutions containing 0.2%, 0.12% and 0.06% chlorhexidine. The maxillary right quadrant of each individual received mouthwash only, whereas the maxillary left quadrant was subject to both rinsing and mechanical oral hygiene. Compliance and side effects were monitored at days 7, 14, and 21. Plaque and gingivitis scores were obtained at baseline and day 21. The commercial mouthwash containing 0.2% chlorhexidine resulted in statistically significantly lower plaque scores than the 0.12 and 0.06% mouthwashes after 21 days use, whereas no statistically significant difference was found between the effect of the two latter mouthrinses. A commercial available mouthwash containing 0.2% chlorhexidine proved statistically significant better effect in preventing dental plaque than 0.12% and 0.06% solutions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a novel gum health formulation, when used in an intra-oral device or on a toothbrush, for teeth whitening and clinical improvements in periodontal diseases.
This study evaluates behavioral interventions to increase adolescent's motivation for self performed periodontal infection control, by means of adequate oral hygiene. Study subjects will be allocated to test and control group where the test will be subjected to an individually tailored oral health education program, based on cognitive- behavioral theory and principles, and the control to standard educational intervention.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antiplaque effects of an alcohol-free essential-oil containing mouthrinse - Listerine Zero (LZ) and an alcohol-based essential oils (EO+) mouthwash compared to a positive control of 0.20% chlorhexidine (CHX) mouthwash, and a negative control of a placebo solution (saline), using an in vivo plaque regrowth model of 3 days.
This study is observational only and is intended to evaluate changes in the makeup and function of bacteria naturally present in the mouth during treatment with braces to straighten teeth.
